Coming soon is an eagerly awaited new MMORPG (massively multiplier online role-playing game) game called Dual Universe. This visually stunning new first-person-based game is a space simulation sandbox video game that’s officially scheduled to arrive on September 22nd, 2022.

It will be one of the hottest new releases so far this year, and according to reports, it combines elements of several proven-performing games, such as Space Engineers, Minecraft, Eve Online, No Man’s Sky, and Star Citizen. If you enjoyed playing any of these popular mmo games, then you’re going to love playing Dual Universe as soon as it’s released. Here’s what we know so far about this epic new game.

Is Dual Universe Free to Play?

While in the beta mode, you had to buy a monthly subscription to play certain parts of the game. You can still play the game in the beta mode before it’s released in the fully completed mode, but it will set you back around $9.99 per month max. It’s not free, but it’s not too expensive. Plus, the more months you purchase in advance, the cheaper it works out.

For example, you can purchase the beta version for 3 months at $8.99 p/m (so $26.97 in total), for 6 months at $8.65 p/m ($51.90 total) p/m, or for 12 months at $7.49 p/, (so $89.88 in total). The full version will soon be available on the Steam online store.

Popular Free-To-Play MMO Games

While you’re waiting for this epic new game to fully arrive, why not check out some of these other popular free mmo games in the meantime? The free-to-play model makes accessing these games much easier, not only by yourself but with friends too. Fortnite and other battle royale games paved the way for this model to be successful, allowing players to purchase skins and other customisations to personalise their experience. Apex Legends and Call of Duty became other notable iterations which elevated the model to a whole new level, making it more ubiquitous. As Warzone 2 nears release, it appears free MMO games will remain at the pinnacle.
